Taste-wise as long as you are dosing accordingly, it's barely noticeable. I would compare the difference (when used in water) to the unique taste experiences you get across different brands of bottled water. In anything flavored, you would never notice. I don't have any known chronic health conditions, but I will say it has stopped my 4am trips to the bathroom without changing the daily timing of my water intake. I do feel like my muscle cramps have decreased as well. Overall, I do feel enough of a difference to continue with my subscription and I love how much more refreshing each sip of water feels.
